Literary mediator with a focus on events and audience development

Do you want to help create visibility, engagement and strong cultural experiences at the library?

We work purposefully to strengthen the library's role as a visible and relevant cultural institution that creates value for both current and new users. Therefore we are looking for a colleague who can help translate the library's offerings, activities and stories into engaging experiences and targeted communications that reach broadly and foster participation.

You will help develop and strengthen the library's events area with a focus on relevant, inspiring and audience-engaging events. At the same time, you will have a central role in the work with the library's overall communication and visibility. An important task will be to attract new target groups and strengthen the library's brand through targeted communication and audience development, while building on the relationship with the users we already have.

We are looking for a profile who has insight into the needs, behavior and motivation of target groups, and who can translate this knowledge into events, dissemination and communication with clear impact. You work strategically with visibility and reach and can create coherence between the library's physical and digital offerings. You think cross-channel content and can translate a good initiative into communication, dissemination and activities that engage different target groups.

As part of the library's dissemination work you will be part of an across-organization working group responsible for coordinating and developing the library's total physical and digital dissemination. Here you are expected to contribute with strong professional perspectives and take a driving role in developing new approaches, formats and initiatives that strengthen the library's visibility and relevance.

You are motivated to develop and implement events that create relevant and inspiring meetings between citizens, literature, culture and knowledge. You thrive in facilitating, moderating and creating good audience experiences and naturally participate in collaborations with colleagues, cultural actors, associations and other partners. You will become part of a working group that together develops the library's events, dissemination and audience initiatives for adults.

With a basis in literature and reading you inspire new reading experiences through strong hospitality and engaging dissemination - both in the physical library and across our platforms. You will be part of the daily library operations and meet citizens with different needs and interests, which requires that you thrive in a role where service and dissemination are as important as development work. In this way you contribute to creating a library that is experienced as open, relevant and welcoming to all citizens of the municipality.

You will among other things work with

• Development and execution of events that create relevant meetings between citizens, literature, culture and knowledge
• Communication and dissemination that strengthen the library's visibility and reach
• Audience development focusing on both new and existing target groups
• Development of coherent content and dissemination efforts across physical and digital platforms
• Collaboration with colleagues, cultural actors and external partners on activities and projects
• Dissemination, hospitality and citizen service as part of the library's daily operation

The position requires that you can move between strategy and practice. You must be able to see new opportunities to reach and engage citizens, while taking responsibility for implementing ideas through strong dissemination, communication and collaboration.

We imagine that you

• Are a strong cultural communicator. Your professional starting point can be literature, reading or experience from the broader cultural life, but most important is that you can translate content into present and relevant audience experiences
• Have experience with communication and content production and can work strategically with dissemination across physical and digital channels
• Have an eye for audience development and can translate knowledge about target groups, needs and behavior into activities, communication and dissemination with clear effect
• Can develop, coordinate and carry out events from idea and planning to execution and evaluation
• Thrive in facilitating, moderating and creating good audience experiences, both on stage and in meetings with citizens
• Are strong at creating relationships, networks and collaborations across disciplines, organizations and external partners

We look forward to reading your application and gaining insight into how you will translate your experiences and ideas into concrete initiatives that strengthen the library's relevance, visibility and reach.

Your application and CV must be received no later than November 12 at 23:59.

The interviews take place on November 19 with a possible second interview on November 23. If you are the right candidate, we look forward to welcoming you with a start date of January 1, 2027.
